Hey there, I'm the latitudefag from yesterday. I'm

>>62346232
>there are so many options
names them and name price point and I'll look into it for you

>>62347811
Okay so there's the

>Latitude E6220 (which is a 12.5 incher so its out of the question)
>Thinkpad Edge E130
>Ideapad S205/S215

Generally I'd prefer it if the price was about 200 euros used. I can't allocate any more money to this. I mostly want i3 performance and great battery life with an 11.6 inch screen

>>62346232
Thinkpad x130e/x131e/x140e
HP Elitebook 2170p

>>62348586
Okay so I looked up the x140e and it looks great but I'm at a loss between it and the elitebook. I'm extremely concerned about the battery life and while the Elitebook has a POS one under load I cant find anything about the x140e's battery life. The Elitebook also has a backlit keyboard and an i7 processor with 16GB memory which blew me away. What do you recommend and what's the deal with their battery lives?

Thanks btw

>>Preferably Dell
why?

Nothing wrong with the good Dell machines, but why have it as a preferance?

>>62349271
I have a precision M6700 and it's incredible, I had 2 Ideapads before and they were mediocre at best for their prices. Other than that, I guess I like their designs?

I don't mind the manufacturer, whatever

thinkpad x61s then upgrade the ram and put and SSD in it

I didn't ask what your first PC was, Grandpa

>>62349607
my first pc was a eeepc actually

>>62349712
I'm joking man

Core 2 Duos are ancient, I'd like something a little more modern. Im looking at the Elitebook 2170p but I cant get over the battery life and the 2 USB slots/no HDMI port

This says that you can upgrade x140e with 16gb of memory. Also x140e has a better trackpad. Battery life will probably be similar with 6-cell batteries, this review says 7 hours of wifi for elitebook https://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-HP-EliteBook-2170p-Subnotebook.83649.0.html#toc-battery-life

I'll propably get the Elitebook because I don't like the Thinkpad look

But I'm trying to find an Elitebook through Ebay and I can only find i5 models. Does the i7 3667 and the i5 34-- whatever it uses have a significant difference?

Only difference is faster clock speed, not very significant.

>>62351247
I don't know man, what do you suggest? I coule get a 9 cell battery for the Thinkpad but I really dislike it's look. The backlit keyboard was also a plus, although it's approaching gimmick status to me

>>62351472
Elitebook is also way faster than x140e. HDMI is not a problem, DP-to-HDMI dongles are cheap.

>>62352217
I'll probably get the Elitebook, but what bothers me the most with pretty much every laptop is that supposedly reviewers get e.g. like 8 hours of WIFI usage from a laptop and I never get that. NEVER. It's really fucking annoying, I use the same settings as the reviewer and I got like 4 hours MAX from my Latitude 2120 which was supposedly capable of 8 hours.

That's why I'm concerned about the Elitebook, will it be even worse? I'm assuming it'll be the same since it has a larger battery, what do you think?

One last question, I can't fucking find m102z's anywhere. Anywhere at all. Are they banned or something?

>>62353418
Shame, they were great

Anyway thanks for your help man, I'm getting the Elitebook

>>62352841
They're probably all dead or thrown in the garbage. Thinkpads and Elitebooks are highly available because they're bought in bulk by businesses, and also built up to a higher quality standard.

>>62352841
why don't you wait™ for the upcoming zen powered laptops
im not questioning your elitebook choise tho

>>62353510
